Samsung (Notebooks, Tablets, Desktops), Drivers, Windows 8

Windows 8 drivers for Samsung tablets, notebooks, desktops, and all-in-one computers can be downloaded via Samsung's support site, linked below.
See Samsung's Windows 8 Upgrade page for a list of PC models that are "supported for Windows 8 upgrade." Even if your Samsung computer isn't listed, it may work perfectly well with default drivers provided in Windows 8.

Lexmark Drivers (Printers), Drivers, Windows 8

A number of Lexmark laser, inkjet, and dot matrix printers are fully compatible with Windows 8. See their Windows 8 Device Driver Compatibility List for more information.
Most of Lexmark's printers are supported natively by Windows 8, meaning a driver perfect for your Lexmark printer came included with Windows 8. A few others require Windows 8 drivers made by Lexmark, which you can download by locating the page for your printer from Lexmark's support site, linked below.

Lenovo (Desktops and Laptops), Drivers, Windows 8

Windows 8 drivers for hardware included in Lenovo desktop and laptop computers can be downloaded via Lenovo's support site, linked below.
See Windows 8 Upgrade Capable Systems for a list of Lenovo computers that they have determined are compatible with Windows 8.
Note: Lenovo also hosts a Windows 8 discussion board here if you're having trouble finding or installing a Windows 8 driver for your Lenovo product.

Creative Sound Blaster Drivers (Audio) Drivers

The most current Creative Sound Blaster Windows 8 drivers are listed on Creative's Driver Availability Chart for Windows 7 and Windows 8, linked below.
Creative has made available Windows 8 drivers for some of their popular Sound Blaster audio products but many of them are currently beta drivers.
Note: Creative also lists Windows 8 drivers on their availability chart for other devices from Creative including MP3 players, webcams, speakers, headsets, and more.

Canon (Printers & Scanners) Drivers

Canon does provide some Windows 8 drivers for their printers, scanners, and multi-function devices, all of which you can download from their support site that I've linked to here.
Tip: While Canon does not seem to keep a list of their devices that work with Windows 8 out-of-the-box, I do own a number of Canon products and, looking at information on Microsoft's site and in Windows 8 itself, it appears as though most of their popular printer and scanner models will work perfectly fine in Windows 8 with the drivers Windows provides.

BIOSTAR Drivers (Motherboards & Graphics)

While I couldn't find a list of BIOSTAR motherboards and video cards that were compatible with Windows 8, I did find that most of their recent hardware has Windows 8 drivers available.
I would expect most BIOSTAR boards that worked with Windows 7 to also work with Windows 8.
